Backyard Boards Skate Shop

"I stopped by here while visiting from out of town. This skate shop is in a bus and is very unique. The selection here rivals any skate shop within 100 miles. The owner Jay is a great guy and skates himself so he is very knowledgeable and can answer any questions you have. Thank you Jay for a great experience."

"Me and my son had a wonderful experience at Backyard Boards. 1st. The owner had left to go to work but when he found out I was there after calling him he came right back to help me and my son out. It was a very pleasant and learning experience. Jay was very informative and answered all the questions we had about the board and trucks/wheels and etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone and look forward to visiting the shop and the main shop in Kelso in the future. Thanks Jay again for taking the time out to help us and the wonderful experience.!"

"Awesome little shop! It is my understanding that this is an extension of their Kelso, WA location (which I have yet to check out, but will!). The gentleman that was there-was very knowledgeable and laid back. We didn't purchase anything as we were more in shock that there was even a board shop in Rochester, but the experience/conversation had was well worth the adventure. Thank you!"

"We purchased a long board for my daughter. The staff was knowledgeable and informative and helped us pick the right board for a beginning skateboarder. We weren't pressured into buying anything. The only negative, which is beyond their control, was that we purchased the board out of a bus in a residential neighborhood astas store in the mall was closed due to COVID. Overall though we got a quality board for a fair price."

"These guys were great. So it says they close at 8 pm, its 7:30 and we are about 40 to 50 mins away when we call to see if they would be still open if we got there a little late, they were cool and said sure. We got there a little after 8 and they helped us make some awesome boards all the way until midnight. They had a great selection of styles of boards and artworks with a whole bunch of different wheels and other things. Top service, me and my friends plan on future visits there and other shops they own."
